My toughest tests are over, and now that things have slowed, I find myself quickly sliding, into Christmas vacation mode. IIt’s a shame you’re not with us, everywhere we go, because we could pretend, that there was mistletoe. A chorus, In the food court asked, “Mary did you know?” And the mozzarella, on my pizza, seemed a symbolic snow. The traffic to the mall was CrA-crazy, the Uber moving glacially slow, what we could have done, with that wasted time, would have been sublime - under some mistletoe. With my agenda slack, I’m almost packed, I’ve got a thistle of something stowed. And one of the things it will be swell to delve, are the licentious uses of mistletoe.

Christmas time can be tough with mistletoe everywhere and our love somewhere else but we always have our fantasies to fall back on. It sounds like you are just about holiday ready, Anais, happy holidays to you!
